"Do your part in the work of Christ the Priest with genuine joy and love."

- The Rite of Ordination to the Priesthood

Jesus calls many women and men to the vocation of marriage and being parents. Married couples promise to serve each other with love and to serve the whole Church. They enter into a life-long covenant of love.

The state of being single is what we’re all born into. For some people, the single state is their lifelong and stable response to the call of Christ.

Vocation comes from a Latin word meaning “calling”. Usually when we hear the word vocation, we think of the priesthood. However, every single person in the world is called by God to love and serve Him.....

Consecrated life is the Church’s way of referring to the wide range of opportunities for individuals to dedicate themselves to a life of prayer and service, often as sisters, nuns, brothers and monks.

Do not be afraid to accept this call. You will surely encounter difficulties and sacrifices, but you will be happy to serve, you will be witnesses of that joy that the world cannot give. - Pope John Paul II

In announcing the Year of Consecrated Life, Pope Francis asked us to: “Look back to the past with gratitude, live the present with passion and look to the future with hope.” For two days in September, all those living consecrated lives in Middlesbrough diocese invite you to join them in doing just that at St Mary's Cathedral, Dalby Way, Middlesbrough.

The school is very blessed with both the pupils and staff who make up the community of St. Michael's.

This fact became very evident with Vocations Week in May. Read more about... Vocations Week: St. Michael’s Catholic College 11th-15th May
